My '71 Challenger has 2 fuel necks in the trunk, one to the fuel tank and one that is capped off. In addition there are 4 rubber lines on the inside fender of the RR tire. The vin indicates the car was built in the Hamtramck, MI plant but does these extra items indicate a CA emissions on this car? Has anyone tried to remove the neck and lines and is it difficult or worth it?

It is a vent for the tank. If you delete it you will need to find another way to vent the tank or you will get a vacuum build up.
 
The 4 lines go to each corner inside the tank. The tall tube contains vent lines which wont spill out..
I seem to recall Calif cars did not get dual exhaust thru the valance.. there are of course other differences..
 
Good to know, thanks for your info.....I will be leaving well enough alone.
 
Yes, California cars have always been more difficult/different/special/etc...
We are still the "benchmark" state for emission control.
